Rob,<div><br></div><div>You don't say what version of SIMH you tried or what platform you ran it on. I use SIMH (since v3.4) on my laptop Mac G4, OS X 10.4, and on my desktop Intel Mac Pro, OS X 10.5. You don't need TCP/IP on the SIMH VAX -- DECnet works just fine, and will transfer your files to your real VAX with all VMS file attributes intact. If you don't have any alternative, if you can make your .tap file available (download or postal mail), I can probably get it on to a VMS-format CD to send back to you (from a SIMH machine to our InfoServer, if it still works).<br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><br></div><div>Larry Baker</div><div>US Geological Survey</div><div>650-329-5608</div><div><a href="mailto:baker@usgs.gov">baker@usgs.gov</a></div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div></span></div><div><div>On Apr 4, 2009, at 9:00 AM, <a href="mailto:simh-request@trailing-edge.com">simh-request@trailing-edge.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>1.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Recovering VMS Savesets from .tap files (Robert Jarratt)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">----------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Message: 1</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2009 10:57:57 +0100</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">From: "Robert Jarratt" <<a href="mailto:robert.jarratt@ntlworld.com">robert.jarratt@ntlworld.com</a>></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Subject: [Simh] Recovering VMS Savesets from .tap files</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">To: <<a href="mailto:simh@trailing-edge.com">simh@trailing-edge.com</a>></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Message-ID: <001501c9b50b$d6052960$820f7c20$@<a href="mailto:jarratt@ntlworld.com">jarratt@ntlworld.com</a>></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I have a .tap file that contains VMS BACKUP savesets.
